The core idea of this project is that our violins are created to make music, then become art and finally return to making music.

At the heart of “Violino d’autore” are the professional violins, violas, cellos, crafted in the Italian luthier tradition and painted by prominent international artists. The project combines music and the other arts, in an interplay between the Italian luthier tradition and Art at large.

All instruments are hand-made by master luthier Ezia di Labio, following the principles of the Bologna luthier school.
